We now have a calendar of events for the Region for 2007. We believe that there is something for everyone and hope that you'll be able to attend as many as possible. I hope that as in previous years there will be ad-hoc driving events and other activities to add to the list. If you're interested in attending keep an eye on the forum, website or Porsche Post or come along to a Club Night for more details.
